ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

Overview

 

Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 19, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is the originator of a new Delicatessen concept. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli Limited Liability Company (“Your Hometown Deli”), we operate a delicatessen store that features “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual and friendly atmosphere. The store is designed to offer local patrons of all ages with a comfortable community gathering places. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s first unit was built in Paulsboro, New Jersey.

 

On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli was formed under the laws of State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with the Company and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company. We introduced the delicatessen concept under the Your Hometown Deli brand name.

 

The Company is the originator of a new “Delicatessen” concept called “Your Hometown Deli.” Your Hometown Delis features “home-style” sandwiches, food items, and groceries in a casual and friendly atmosphere. Your Hometown Delis are designed to be comfortable community gathering places for customers of all ages. The Company seeks to create an establishment that will appeal to local residents and commuting workers, conveniently offering high-quality products at fair prices. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s first and only location was opened in Paulsboro, New Jersey on October 14, 2015.

 

We have limited advertising using social media and direct mailing to residents in towns around our store, however, we continue to place advertisements in a local high school sports calendar, local newspaper and have attended various local events with food samples and menus. Events like the Lighthouse Challenge held at Tinicum Rear Range Lighthouse and various political fundraisers throughout Gloucester County. We expect our losses to continue during 2020.

 

Recent Developments

 

Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

 

As of March 23, 2020, we have closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. According to management, this is a temporary situation until the order is lifted. This will have a material impact on our business.

 

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The current Coronavirus Pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern.

 

Corporate Developments

 

On December 31, 2019, each of Paul F. Morina and Christine T. Lindenmuth, the principal officers and directors and majority shareholders of the Company, entered into separate Stock Purchase Agreements with Paul L Coker, Jr., which provided for the sale by each of them of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. The consideration paid for the Purchased Shares, which represented approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, was an aggregate of $3,000.

 

On February 17, 2020, Mr. Coker was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

On March 18, 2020 the Company repurchased an aggregate of 38,336 shares of the Company’s common stock from a total of 11 shareholders, at a purchase price of $1.00 per share.

 

On March 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of warrants to the shareholders of record as of March 31, 2020. As of such date, the Company shall send each shareholder of record (i) five Class A Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, (ii) five Class B Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, (iii) five Class C Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.75 per share and (iv) five Class D Warrants entitling the holder thereof to purchase five shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share, with each warrant expiring on March 31, 2035 (collectively, the “Warrants”). The distribution of the Warrants to the shareholders of the Company as of March 31, 2020 will be pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

 

On March 23, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada increasing the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue from 100,000,000 to 250,000,000.

The Your Hometown Deli Concept

 

Your Hometown Deli is a delicatessen concept that will focus on providing high-quality food products not available in local supermarkets or take-out restaurants. The delicatessen concept has a worldwide history with the term first appearing in the English language in 1889. The word “delicatessen” originates in the German language and means “delicacies” or “fine foods.” Delicatessens vary throughout the world, but in the United States a delicatessen (or “deli”) is a small retail store that is a blend of a grocery and a fast-food restaurant.

 

The Company’s Your Hometown Deli concept is patterned after traditional delicatessens, offering a wider and fresher menu than found at fast-food restaurants. Sandwiches and green salads are made fresh to order. Like many delis, Your Hometown Deli serves some hot foods kept on a steam table, similar to a cafeteria. In addition to ready-to-eat food, the Your Hometown Deli sells cold cuts by weight. A wide variety of beverages are also sold together with potato chips and similar products.

 

In addition to our food offering, newspapers, limited household items and small snack items, such as candy, cookies and chewing gums are planned to be available for purchase. Your Hometown Deli also provides take-out service and limited seating in the store.

 

We have begun generating revenue from the sales of our food and beverage since our soft opening in mid-October 2015. Besides the equipment, fixtures, and inventories we purchased for our deli store, we have limited assets. We had minimal working capital as of the date of this annual report and used cash in operating activities for the year then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Products 

 

Your Hometown Deli provides sandwiches, soups, salads, deli meats/cheeses, hot/cold drinks, fresh breads/rolls and small retail items for cooking, baking, and home use. Salads include made-to-order green salads, prepared pasta, potato, chicken, or other variety of “wet” salads. Breakfast products include baked goods (breakfast pastries, bagels, toast), yogurt, and hot breakfast sandwiches. Fresh coffee, tea and other hot and cold beverages are also available for purchase.  

 

Strategy 

 

The Company’s business strategy is to create a food-centered social environment within the local community that offers higher-quality prepared food and ingredients than is typically found locally. The Company’s management believes that broader market trends and certain locality-specific attributes support this strategy. The average American eats out 4-5 times a week and according to the United States Department of Labor. Management of the Company believes the increased popularity of eating out in the United States is a social trend that is likely to continue in the future.

 

Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to continue to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to our company. If we cannot obtain financing or if we determine not to proceed with our business plan, we may decide to exit our existing business and explore potential strategic alternatives, including establishing a new business, or target an existing business for acquisition, without restriction to any specific business, industry or geographical location.

Location

 

The Company’s sole location is in Paulsboro, a borough in Gloucester County, New Jersey that was founded in 1904. Paulsboro is located directly across the Delaware River from the city of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia airport. Your Hometown Deli is located on a property in the commercial area of downtown Paulsboro that has two buildings. The front building is the location of the new Your Hometown Deli as well as the local Conrail offices. The rear building is used throughout the week as a practice facility by the local wrestling club and other sports groups. Paulsboro has a national reputation for its wrestling activities and one of the Company’s founders is a leader in the sport of wrestling.

 

The borough of Paulsboro is undergoing a redevelopment phase from a petroleum products specialty port into an adaptable “OmniPort” able to handle a diversity of bulk, break bulk cargo and shipping containers. Studies completed in 2012 concluded that the port is well suited to become a center for the manufacturing, assembly, and transport of wind turbines and platforms for the development of Atlantic Wind Connection. The port is located approximately one mile from the site of the Your Hometown Deli. The Company’s management believes that hundreds of employees around the area will eventually pass the Your Hometown Deli, the only food establishment on the main commuter route to the Port.

 

The Market

 

The local Paulsboro market is small, but conducive to hosting a Your Hometown Deli. According to the 2010 United States Census, there were 6,097 people and 2,286 households residing in the borough. The median household income was $43,846. The broader Philadelphia Metropolitan Statistical Area is the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the United States with a population to 6.53 million people.

 

The Company anticipates drawing customers from people living in Paulsboro and the adjacent communities of Greenwich, Clarksboro, and West Deptford, New Jersey. Commuting workers are also anticipated to be customers.

 

Local students and coaches who frequently use the sports practice facility on the property are another group of potential customers. The practice facility is also home to the “The Monster Factory,” a professional wrestling training and wrestling match promotions organization. In business more than 30 years, the Monster Factory has become “the world’s most famous wrestling school” and has been featured in the Rolling StoneNewsWeek, and Wall Street Journal. The Company believes that the attendees of Monster Factory wrestling events are potential customers for Your Hometown Deli.

 

Local competing delicatessen concept stores include Wally’s Grocery & Deli. Other dining and grocery options in the area include locally owned pizzerias, seafood, and fine dining restaurants. Fast food options in the vicinity include McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy’s. Grocery stores include Wawa, Dollar General, Heritage’s Dairy Stores and Fair Deal Food Market.

 

Employees

 

The Company presently has four full-time employees apart from its officers and directors, Paul F. Morina, President and Christine T. Lindenmuth. Both are currently working for the Company without any compensation.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The Company relies heavily on word of mouth for its marketing. The Company’s founders have close ties to the community in which the first store is located and believe that these relationships will help the Company’s sales and marketing efforts. We use Facebook to describe the quality, atmosphere, products, specials, customer opinions and general information about the Your Hometown Deli’s operation. All sales and marketing messages will attempt to describe the unique character of the Your Hometown Deli and its family-oriented style and old-world feel.

The lease was extended on August 12, 2019 for an additional two-year term.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.

 

Market Information

 

There is a limited public market for our common shares. Our common shares are quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “HWIN”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

 

OTC Markets securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Markets securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Markets issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

 

Our common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTC Markets on May 9, 2019. Over-the-counter market quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions.

 

Holders

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately 36 holders of common stock.

 

Dividends

 

We have not paid any cash dividends to our shareholders. The declaration of any future cash dividends is at the discretion of our Board and depends upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

None.

 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

None.

 

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA.

 

Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.

 

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

 

You should read the following discussion together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements.

  

Impact of Current Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic on the Company

 

As of March 23, 2020, we have closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. According to management, this is a temporary situation until the order is lifted. This will have a material impact on our business.

 

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The current Coronavirus Pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern.

 

Overview

 

Incorporated on May 19, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada, Hometown International, Inc. is the originator of a new Delicatessen concept. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli Limited Liability Company (“Your Hometown Deli”), we operate a delicatessen store that features “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual and friendly atmosphere. The store is designed to offer local patrons of all ages with a comfortable community gathering places. Targeted towards smaller towns and communities, the Company’s first and only store is located in Paulsboro, New Jersey.

 

On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. was formed under the laws of State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with our Company and is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of our Company. We introduced the delicatessen concept under the Your Hometown Deli brand name.

 

We began generating revenue from the sales of our food and beverage since our soft opening in mid-October, 2015. Besides the equipment, fixtures, and inventories we purchased for our deli store, we have limited assets. We had minimal working capital as of the date of this annual report and used cash in operating activities for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt from our auditor about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we continued to refine our menu and operating hours. We have limited advertising using social media and word of mouth, however, we continue to place an advertisement in a local high school sports calendar and have attended various local events with food samples and menus.  We have attended events like the Lighthouse Challenge held at Tinicum Rear Range Lighthouse and various political fundraisers throughout Gloucester County. We expect our losses to continue.

 

As reflected in the financial statements, the Company used cash in operations of $156,671 and has a net loss from operations of $132,158 and an accumulated deficit of $806,920 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. These factors raise substantial doubt from our auditor about our ability to continue as a going concern as of December 31, 2019. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to generate sufficient revenues and in our ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect and our cash position may not be sufficient to support our daily operations. Our continued existence is dependent upon our ability to continue to execute our operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to our company. Accordingly, we may decide to exit our existing business and explore potential strategic alternatives, including establishing a new business, or target an existing business for acquisition, without restriction to any specific business, industry or geographical location.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimate

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of service and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenue from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As a result, the Company has recorded Right-to-use assets and corresponding Lease obligations as more fully discussed in Note 7 to our audited financial statements included in this report.

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Financing activities provided $161,444 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, we had a cash balance of $609. Operating activities used $53,544 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Financing activities provided $48,812 in cash for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

 

On December 31, 2019, we borrowed $175,000 from Peter Coker, Jr., our Chairman of the Board. The principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest at 8% per annum, is due and payable on June 30, 2020. The Company may prepay any amounts due without penalty or premium. We used the proceeds from this loan to repay certain debts and other obligations of the Company and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with Mr. Coker in the amount of $10,000. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the note is bearing 8% interest, unsecured and is due on December 31, 2020.

 

We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures. We need to raise additional funds, particularly if we are unable to continue generating positive cash flow as a result of our operations. We estimate that based on current plans and assumptions, that our available cash will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements under our present operating expectations, without further financing, for up to 12 months. In addition, our company may, from time to time, receive continued funding and capital resources from related parties. However, as of the date of this annual report, such related parties do not have any existing obligation to advance funds or working capital to support our business, nor can our company rely on any advance funds from such related parties. We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. We do not anticipate we will be profitable in 2020. As of March 23, 2020, we have closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. According to management, this is a temporary situation until the order is lifted. This temporary closure will have a material impact on our business. The current Coronavirus Pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. Therefore our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations.

We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our liquidity may be negatively impacted by the significant costs associated with our public company reporting requirements, costs associated with newly applicable corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We expect all of these applicable rules and regulations to significantly increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time consuming and costly.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

In connection with the $175,000 loan from Peter Coker, Jr., we issued Mr. Coker a promissory note pursuant to which the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest at 8% per annum, is due and payable on June 30, 2020. The Company may prepay any amounts due without penalty or premium.

 

In connection with the aggregate of $144,979 due and payable to Europa Capital Investments, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, $100,000 of the principal amount of debt owed was converted to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on March 18, 2020. The remaining principal balance owed in the amount of $44,979, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on December 31, 2020.

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with Mr. Coker in the amount of $10,000. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the note is bearing 8% interest, unsecured and is due on December 31, 2020.

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company and Mr. Coker agreed to combine the principal and accrued interest of a note and issued a new unsecured promissory note in the amount of $30,126. The note is bearing 8% interest, unsecured and due on December 31, 2020.

 

On February 13, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with Mr. Coker in the amount of $20,000. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the note is bearing 8% interest, unsecured and is due on February 13, 2021.

 

On March 18, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with Mr. Coker in the amount of $50,000. Pursuant to the terms of the note, the note is bearing 8% interest, unsecured and is due on March 31, 2021.

 

On July 1, 2014, the Company entered into a five-year non-cancelable operating lease with a Mantua Creek Group LLC, for which our President Paul F. Morina is a member of, for its store space at a monthly rate of $500. The operating lease agreement was fully executed in September 2015. On August 12, 2019, Manuta granted the Company a two-year extension on the term of the lease.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of:

Hometown International, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hometown International, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss, a working capital deficit, and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 9. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

  NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Organization

 

Hometown International, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 19, 2014. The Company is the originator of a new “Delicatessen” concept (“Your Hometown Deli”). The Company intends that its delicatessens will feature “home-style” sandwiches and other entrees in a casual friendly atmosphere. Hometown Delis are designed to be comfortable community gathering places for guests of all ages.

 

On January 18, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. was formed under the laws of the State of New Jersey. On May 29, 2014, Your Hometown Deli, LLC, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Hometown International, Inc. For accounting purposes, this transaction is being accounted for as a merger of entities under common control and has been treated as a recapitalization of Hometown International, Inc. with Your Hometown Deli, LLC, as the accounting acquirer). The historical financial statements of the accounting acquirer became the financial statements of the registrant. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with the transaction. The 5,000,000 shares issued to the shareholder of Your Hometown Deli, LLC, in conjunction with the share exchange transaction has been presented as outstanding for all periods.

 

The Company’s accounting year end is December 31, which is the year end of Your Hometown Deli, LLC.

 

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying December 31, 2019 and 2018, consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hometown International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Your Hometown Deli, LLC. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

(C) Use of Estimates

 

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Significant estimates include valuation of in kind contribution of service and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

(D) Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Loss Per Share

 

Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by FASB ASC No. 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. The Company has no common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

(F) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company’s income tax expense differed from the statutory rates (federal 21% and state 9%) as follows:

 

    December 31,
2019
  December 31,
2018
         
Expected tax expense (benefit) - Federal   $ (28,539 )   $ (20,800 )
Expected tax expense (benefit) - State     (13,441 )     (9,796 )
Non-deductible expenses     8,674       8,674  
Change in valuation allowance     33,306       21,922  
Actual tax expense (benefit)   $ -     $ -  

 

The net deferred taxes in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:

 

Gross deferred tax assets:

 

Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 176,554     $ 143,248  
Total deferred tax assets     (176,554 )     (143,248 )
Less: valuation allowance     176,554       143,248  
Net deferred tax asset recorded   $ -     $ -  

 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $628,084 and $509,598 available to offset future taxable income through December 31, 2039. The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating loss and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize approximately $121,000 of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2037 and approximately $55,000 of net operating loss carryforwards that have no expiration date.

 

The net change in the valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was an increase of $33,306 and $21,922, respectively.

 

The company’s federal income tax returns for the years 2016-2019 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service through 2023.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

(G) Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the underlying lease term for leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter onset the property and equipment is put into service.

 

(H) Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. The updated guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also provides for additional disclosures with respect to revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

The Company generates revenue operating a delicatessen. Revenue from the operations of Company-owned delicatessen are recognized when sales occur.

 

(I) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with GAAP. For certain of our financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable, and the short-term portion of long-term debt, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

 

We adopted accounting guidance for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities (ASC 820). The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

F-8 

 

 

HOMETOWN INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

(J) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” Topic 842, which amends the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases. The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases longer than 12 months. Under the standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. For lessees, leases will be classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. As a result, the Company has recorded Right-to-use assets and corresponding Lease obligations as more fully discussed in Note 7.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

 

The Company adopted the new lease guidance effective August 12, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach, applying the new standard to all of its leases existing at the date of initial application which is the effective date of adoption. Consequently, financial information will not be updated and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before August 12, 2019. We elected the package of practical expedients which permits us to not reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) any initial direct costs for any existing leases as of the effective date. We did not elect the hindsight practical expedient which permits entities to use hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment. The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported consolidated statements of operations and did not result in a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening equity. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in the recognition of ROU assets of $10,426 and lease liabilities of $10,426.

 

The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease terms as of the August 12, 2019 adoption date. This rate was determined to be 10% and the Company determined the initial present value, at inception, of $10,426.

 

Operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any.

 

The Company has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component. The lease expense is recognized over the expected term on a straight-line basis. Operating leases are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and non-current operating lease liabilities.

 

The new standard also provides practical expedients and certain exemptions for an entity’s ongoing accounting. We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify. This means, for those leases where the initial lease term is one year or less or for which the ROU asset at inception is deemed immaterial, we will not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities. Those leases are expensed on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

NOTE 9 GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company used cash in operations of $156,671, has an accumulated deficit of $806,920, and has a net loss of $149,341 for the year ended December 31, 2019. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As of March 23, 2020, we have closed the delicatessen given the stay-at-home order issued by the governor of New Jersey. According to management, this is a temporary situation until the order is lifted. This will have a material impact on our business.

 

We may not have sufficient working capital to fund the expansion of our operations and to provide working capital necessary for our ongoing operations and obligations. We need to raise significant additional capital to fund our operating expenses, pay our obligations, and grow our company. Therefore, our future operations may be dependent on our ability to secure additional financing. The current Coronavirus Pandemic may have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2019 for the material weakness describe below.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework). Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that our internal controls were not effective as of December 31, 2019 for the material weaknesses describe as follows: (i) lack of an independent board of directors, (ii) our accounting personnel lack U.S. GAAP expertise and (iii) lack of segregated duties.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over financial reporting

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth fiscal quarter of the year ended December 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
